WATCH: “Why hire a motherf*cker who you ain’t gonna listen to?” After @RepTimBurchett downplays @RobertKennedyJr’s potential impact on public health and says “we (congress) write the laws”, @roywoodjr & @michaelianblack ask a valid question. @hignfyus

Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it. (Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

In a $500 million lawsuit against Elon Musk, a trial lawyer in New York is leading a litigation team built from the sharpest, funniest tweeters on his feed. “Twitter was what made it possible for us to get together,” he said. “And now we’re suing it.” nyti.ms/4aE0cfH

Some disasters don't make the news, because they happen every single day. We've become accustomed to these catastrophes, even though they're often (much) worse than even the worst news on the front pages. Case in point: the tobacco industry. /1

There's one overwhelmingly common mistake that people make about enshittification: assuming that the contagion is the result of the Great Forces of History, or that it is the inevitable end-point of any kind of for-profit online world. 1/

Four years ago, I had the chance to visit Ludo Studio in Brisbane and meet the team behind Bluey. People around the world love Bluey, and rightly so. Bluey is the Best Of Its Kind. But I think it's also the "Best Of Its Kind" in *any* entertainment medium. Here's why... 1/🧵

A key requirement for being a science fiction writer without losing your mind is the ability to distinguish between science fiction (futuristic thought experiments) and *predictions*. SF writers who lack this trait come to fancy themselves fortune-tellers who SEE! THE! FUTURE! 1

Sitting on a train and the lady two seats in front of me is talking very enthusiastically to her seat mate about dad’s work. And I am grinning away like a loon.
